There you go. You hardly watch any at all.
Yes...I said I hardly watch ANY...That includes ALL...kepp that in mind...
If I saw CNN consistantly reporting everything with a Liberal slant, do you suggest that I tune in weekly to make sure that this is still the case?...
Week 1 - "Yup...Still Liberal..."
Week 2 - "Yup...Still Liberal..."
Week 3 - "Yup...Still Liberal..."
Kinda tedious, don't ya think?...
Another point which no one seems to point out...
There's a difference between the terms "slanted" and "legitimate"...They are not opposites, which most here believe...
I say CNN is Liberally slanted...But that doesn't mean that what they say isn't true...just told through a different perspective...
There could be a battle in Iraq...300 terrorists are killed...Three marines wounded...
FoxNews's headline - "
Terrorists dealt major blow"
CNN's headline - "
US casualties rising"
The difference is obvious, but they BOTH tell the truth...
Now here's the problem the Conservatives have when debating on this site...
When using sources that they believe are Liberally slanted(CBS, CNN, MSNBC, etc....), Liberals will acknowledge the sources at legitimate...
The same legitimacy is NOT afforded to the Conservatively slanted outlets(of which there is ONE)...Liberals just blow it off...It's very easy to avoid debate by saying "Fox said it...It must be a lie."...
Since Fox is the ONLY Conservatively slanted outlet on TV...AND they get dismissed when used as a source...That leaves Conservatives on this site with NO sources that Liberals will accept as legitimate except for...you guessed it...Liberal outlets...
This is not a defense of FoxNews itself...It is only to say that some of the Conservatives are handcuffed in the way they present sources due to the fact that the only outlet on television that the Conservatives can feel more comfortable with is automatically discounted, whereas all other outlets, which Conservatives feel are slanted in the other direction, are automatically considered legitimate...
It's the perfect way for the Liberal faction to have their cake and eat it, too...
